Solenoid type fuel injection valve

Abstract: In a solenoid type fuel injection valve, outer and inner fuel spray guide devices (31, 32) are coaxially disposed downstream of a fuel injection hole 16 3 , and a pintle 34 is projectingly provided at a tip end of a needle valve 21 to extend through the fuel injection hole 16 3 and opposed to an upper surface of the inner fuel spray guide device 32. Thus, fuel passed through the fuel injection hole 16 3 to collide against a valve head 34 3 of the pintle 34 is sprayed into an intake port, while being atomized and spread into a cone-like shape. At this time, the fuel is blocked by a support arm 17 2 which extends radially inwardly from a cap 17 to support the inner fuel spray guide device 32, thereby causing a fuel spray pattern to be formed into a horse's hoof-like shape having fuel spray lacked portions. By forming the fuel spray lacked portions in correspondence to a rod portion of an intake valve and/or the like, the deposition of the fuel is prevented.

Description: The present invention relates to a solenoid type fuel injection valve for injecting a fuel into an intake port in an engine. There are such conventionally known solenoid type fuel injection valves described in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-open Nos.90365/83, 31261/88 and 120758/82, Japanese Patent Publication No.67786/93 and Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-open No.95572/89. In the solenoid type fuel injection valves described in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-open Nos.90365/83 and 31261/88, a fuel collision portion is provided, coaxially with a needle valve, at a tip end of the fuel injection valve through a support member. These fuel injection valves suffer from a problem that a fuel spray pattern is formed mainly by an energy of injection of a fuel and hence, it is difficult to produce any desired fuel spray pattern. Especially when the amount of fuel supply is small, the fuel spray pattern is largely varied. Moreover, there is another problem that the atomization of the fuel is difficult to promote, because the fuel collision portion is triangular pyramidal in shape. In the solenoid type fuel injection valves described in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-open No. 120758/82 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 67786/93, a fuel is injected to two intake valves by a single fuel injection valve. In the solenoid type fuel injection valve described in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-open No. 95572/89, a fuel is injected to three intake valves by a single fuel injection valve. These fuel injection valves are designed to prevent the deposition of the fuel onto a wall surface of the intake port, but suffer from a problem that it is impossible to avoid the deposition of the fuel onto a rod portion of the intake valve. DE-A-4218896 describes a solenoid type fuel injection valve having the precharacterizing features of claim 1. According to the present invention the air assist passage of the solenoid type fuel injection valve is coaxially opposed to and open toward a tip end of the pintle. In an embodiment in accordance with the present invention, since the air assist passage provided at a position downstream of the pintle is axially opposed to the tip end of the pintle, it is possible not only to equally mix air to the fuel to promote the atomization and uniformization of the fuel, but also to allow the air to collide against the fuel at a large relative speed to provide the stabilization in particle size. Preferably, the solenoid type fuel injection valve further comprises a cap mounted at a tip end of said injector body, and said fuel spray guide means is retained within said cap and an inner fuel spray guide means is further disposed within said fuel spray guide means at a position downstream of said pintle and coaxially opposed to the tip end of said pintle, and a support arm supporting said inner fuel spray guide means extends radially inwardly from said cap. In this preferred embodiment, spray lacked portions (i.e. a discontinuous spray pattern) can be formed in the fuel spray pattern defined into a cone-like shape by the outer fuel spray guide means and the inner fuel spray guide means, by blocking the fuel spray by support arms. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the deposition of the fuel onto the rod portion and wall surface by forming the spray lacked portions so as to correspond to a rod portion of an intake valve and a preselected wall surface of an intake port, thereby avoiding a variation in air-fuel ratio. Moreover, the outer fuel spray guide means, the inner fuel spray guide means and the support arm need only be added to the prior art solenoid fuel injection valve including the pintle and therefore, it is possible to realize the solenoid fuel injection valve according to the present invention at an extremely low cost. A plurality of the support arms may be provided. The fuel spray pattern can then be divided into a plurality of crescent-shaped portions by the provision of the plurality of support arms, thereby further effectively avoiding the deposition of the fuel onto the rod portion of the intake valve and the wall surface of the intake port. In operation a fuel spray may be guided by an inner wall of the outer fuel spray guide means and an outer wall of the inner fuel spray guide means. This measure assists in spreading the fuel spray into a correct cone-like shape. Preferably, the fuel spray guide means is provided in said injector body for limiting a spray angle of a fuel, and an inner fuel spray guide means is fixedly disposed within said fuel spray guide means and coaxially opposed to said pintle; wherein a fuel injection passage is formed between said inner fuel spray guide means and said fuel spray guide means; and wherein said air assist passage is provided in said inner fuel spray guide means, and a plurality of second air assist passages are provided in said fuel spray guide means at a position corresponding to said fuel injection passage and are open toward said inner fuel spray guide means. In this embodiment, it is possible to promote the atomization and uniformization of the fuel by the assist air from the first air assist passage and further promote the atomization and uniformization of the fuel by the assist air from the plurality of the second air assist passages, thereby insuring the atomization and uniformization of the injected fuel and the stabilization of discharge form. For a better understanding of the present invention and to show more clearly how it may be carried into effect, reference will now be made, by way of example, to the accompanying drawings, in which:- Fig.1 is a vertical sectional side view of a portion of an engine including a solenoid type fuel injection valve according to a first embodiment of the present invention; Fig.2 is a vertical sectional side view of the fuel injection valve; Fig.3 is an enlarged view of an essential portion shown in Fig.2; Fig.4 is a sectional view taken along a line 4-4 in Fig.3; Fig.5 is a sectional view taken along a line 5-5 in Fig.3; Fig.6 is a sectional view taken along a line 6-6 in Fig.3; Fig.7 is a vertical sectional side view of an essential portion of a solenoid type fuel injection valve according to a second embodiment of the present invention; Fig.8 is a view taken along a line 8-8 in Fig.7; Fig.9 is a sectional view taken along a line 9-9 in Fig.7; Fig.10 is a sectional view similar to Fig.6, but showing a modification of a fuel spray pattern; Fig.11 is a sectional view similar to Fig.6, but showing another modification of a fuel spray pattern; Fig.12 is a sectional view similar to Fig.6, but showing a further modification of a fuel spray pattern; Fig.13 is a vertical sectional side view of an essential portion of a solenoid type fuel injection valve according to a third embodiment of the present invention; Fig.14 is a view taken along a line 14-14 in Fig.13; Fig.15 is a sectional view taken along a line 15-15 in Fig.13; Fig.16 is a vertical sectional side view of an essential portion of a solenoid type fuel injection valve according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention; Fig.17 is a view taken along a line 17-17 in Fig.16; and Fig.18 is a sectional view taken along a line 18-18 in Fig.16. A first embodiment of the present invention will be first described with reference to Figs.1 to 6. Referring to Fig.1, an intake port 4 is defined in a cylinder head 2 coupled to an upper surface of a cylinder block 1 of an engine and is connected to a combustion chamber 3. An intake manifold 5 is connected to the intake port 4 and coupled to a side of the cylinder head 2. An intake valve 6 has a rod portion 6 1 and a valve head 6 2 , so that the valve head 6 2 is seated onto and unseated away from a valve seat 8 to open and close an intake valve bore 9 by vertically moving the intake valve 6 with the rod portion 6 1 slidably guided on a valve guide 7 provided in the cylinder head 2 by a valve operating mechanism (not shown). A solenoid type fuel injection valve I is provided in the intake manifold 5, so that a fuel is injected from the solenoid type fuel injection valve I through the intake port 4 into the intake valve bore 9. As shown in Fig.2, the solenoid type fuel injection valve I includes a substantially cylindrical body housing 11. A bobbin 13 having a coil 12 wound around an outer periphery, a yoke 14, a stopper plate 15, an injector body 16 and a cap 17 are fitted within the body housing 11 from below in the named order and fixed by caulking a lower edge of the body housing 11 to an outer periphery of the cap 17. A portion of the body housing 11 located inside the bobbin 13 constitutes a stationary core 11 1 , and a portion of the body housing 11 located outside the coil 12 constitutes a yoke 11 2 . A movable core 18 is vertically movably accommodated in a space which is defined by an inner periphery of a lower portion of the bobbin 13 and an inner periphery of the yoke 14. A tubular spring seat 19 is press-fitted from above into the center of the body housing 11, and the movable core 18 is biased downwardly by a valve spring 20 which is mounted under compression between the movable core 18 and the spring seat 19. As can be seen from Figs.1 and 2 in combination with Fig.3, a needle valve 21 is fixed to the movable core 18 by caulking to extend downwardly, and has a pair of guide portions 21 1 , 21 1 substantially rectangular in section and slidably fitted in a guide hole 16 1 which are circular in section and provided in the injector body 16. A valve portion 21 2 formed at a lower portion of the needle valve 21 is seatable on a valve seat 16 2 connected to a lower portion of the guide hole 16 1 . Thus, an annular fuel injection hole 16 3 is opened and closed by the valve portion 21 2 and the valve seat 16 2 . In a state where the coil 12 wound around the bobbin 13 is deenergized, the movable core 18 and the needle valve 21 are biased downwardly by a resilient force of the valve spring 20, so that the valve portion 21 2 is seated on the valve seat 16 2 . When the coil 12 is energized to attract the movable core 18 upwardly against the resilient force of the valve spring 20, the needle valve 21 is moved upwardly so that the valve portion 21 2 is spaced apart from the valve seat 16 2 . Figs.3, 5 and 6 shows the needle valve 21 in a condition in which it has been moved upwardly and thus, the valve portion 21 2 has been spaced apart from the valve seat, thereby opening the fuel injection hole 16 3 . At this time, the stroke of the needle valve 21 is limited by the abutment of a flange 21 3 formed at an intermediate portion of the needle valve 21 against a lower surface of the stopper plate 15. When the fuel injection hole 16 3 has been opened in the above manner, a fuel supplied to an upper end of the body housing 11 from a fuel supply source (not shown) is passed through a filter 22, an internal space of the spring seat 19, a through-hole 18 1 of the movable core 18, an internal space of the yoke 14, a through-hole 15 1 in the stopper plate 15, clearances between the guide hole 16 1 in the injector body 16 and the guide portions 21 1 , 21 1 of the needle valve 21, a clearance between the valve portion 21 2 and the valve seat 16 2 and the fuel injection hole 16 3 and then injected. At this time, the amount of fuel injected from the solenoid fuel injection valve I is metered by controlling the time length of energization of the coil 12. As shown in Figs.3 to 5, an outer cylindrical fuel spray guide mans 31 is fitted and retained in a fitting hole 17 1 defined in the cap 17 connected to a lower end of the injector body 16 to lie coaxially with the needle valve 21. A pair of support arms 17 2 , 17 2 are formed at a lower end of the cap 17 to extend radially within the fitting hole 17 1 , and a spindle-shaped inner fuel spray guide means 32 is retained by the pair of support arms 17 2 , 17 2 . A pair of notches 31 1 , 31 1 are defined at a lower end of the outer fuel spray guide means 31 and fitted to the pair of support arms 17 2 , 17 2 for the inner fuel spray guide means 32. Thus, the outer fuel spray guide means 31 is disposed coaxially with the inner fuel spray guide means 32, and a pair of opposed crescent-shaped nozzles 33, 33 are formed between an inner periphery of the outer fuel spray guide means 31 and an outer periphery of the inner fuel spray guide means 32. A pintle 34 is integrally formed at a lower end of the needle valve 21 to extend downwardly within the outer fuel spray guide means 31, and has a valve head 34 3 formed at its lower end, which has an upwardly-turned tapered surface 34 1 and a downwardly-turned tapered surface 34 2 . Thus, the fuel passed through the fuel injection hole 16 3 collides against the valve head 34 3 of the pintle 34 and is thereby atomized and spread into a cone-like shape having a spray inside angle  1 and a spray outside angle  2 . The cap 17 is provided with an air assist passage 17 3 which extends radially inwardly from an outer peripheral surface of the cap 17 through one of the support arms 17 2 to the center of the inner fuel spray guide means 32 and then extends upwardly therefrom to open into an upper surface of the inner fuel spray guide means 32 at its central portion. The opening of the air assist passage 17 3 is coaxially opposed to a tip end of the valve head 34 3 of the pintle 34 (i.e., a tip end of the downwardly-turned tapered surface 34 2 ). An annular air chamber 37 (see Fig.1) is defined between the housing body 11 of the solenoid type fuel injection valve I and the intake manifold 5 and connected to an air supply source (not shown), and an outer end of the air assist passage 17 3 opens into the air chamber 37. Thus, when air is supplied from the air chamber 37 to the air assist passage 17 3 , the air is blown upwardly against the tip end of the downwardly-turned tapered surface 34 2 of the pintle 34. Wall surfaces of passages which connect an annular expansion chamber 35 defined between an outer periphery of the pintle 34 and the inner periphery of the outer fuel spray guide means 31 with the pair of nozzles 33, 33, i.e., the inner wall of the outer fuel spray guide means 31 and the outer wall of the inner fuel spray guide means 32 are spread in a divergent manner to meet the spray outside angle  2 and the spray inside angle  1 . The inner wall of the outer fuel spray guide means 31 is formed into a smooth surface free from a projection, and the outer wall of the inner fuel spray guide means 32 is provided with annular steps 32 1 (see Fig.4) disposed at three stages to meet the spray inside angle  1 . The operation of the first embodiment of the present invention having the above-described construction will be described below. When the coil 12 of the solenoid type fuel injection valve I is energized to move the needle valve 21 upwardly, the valve portion 21 2 of the needle valve 21 is unseated away from the valve seat 16 2 to open the fuel injection hole 16 3 , thereby causing the high pressure fuel to be injected through the fuel injection hole 16 3 into the annular expansion chamber 35. The fuel injected into the annular expansion chamber 35 collides against the upwardly-turned tapered surface 34 1 of the valve head 34 3 of the pintle 34, whereby it is atomized while being diffused radiately. At this time, air blown through the air assist passage 17 3 against the downwardly-turned tapered surface 34 2 of the valve head 34 3 of the pintle 34 is diffused radiately to collide against the atomized fuel, whereby it is uniformly mixed with such air and hence, the atomization of the fuel is further promoted. In this case, the air ejected from the air assist passage 17 3 collides against the fuel at a large relative speed in a confronting manner and hence, the atomization of the fuel is further promoted to provide a stabilization in particle size. The fuel atomized in the above manner is guided through the divergent passage defined between the inner wall of the outer fuel spray guide means 31 and the outer wall of the inner fuel spray guide means 32 and sprayed from the pair of crescent-shaped nozzles 33, 33 formed at the lower end of the cap into the intake port 4. During this time, a reduction in flow speed is prevented by the annular steps 32 1 formed at the three stages on the inner fuel spray guide means 32. The fuel passed through the nozzles 33, 33 is spread into a cone-like shape and sprayed toward a clearance defined between the intake valve bore 9 and the valve head 6 2 of the intake valve 6. Since the pair of nozzles 33, 33 are separated from each other by the support arms 17 2 , 17 2 , a fuel spray pattern is formed as shown in Fig.6. More specifically, the fuel spray pattern is of a substantially elliptic shape with a longer diameter D 1 and a shorter diameter D 2 and having spray lacked portions a, a having a length L and formed at mutually opposed locations by the support arms 17 2 , 17 2 . The fuel spray pattern is comprised of a pair of crescent-shaped portions spaced apart from each other by the length L. As can be seen from Fig.1, an axis of the solenoid type fuel injection valve I and an axis of the rod portion 6 1 of the intake valve 6 intersect each other at a predetermined angle and hence, the shape of the intake valve bore 9 as viewed from the axial direction of the solenoid type fuel injection valve I is elliptic rather than circular. Therefore, if the fuel spray pattern is formed into a circular shape, a following problem is encountered: the fuel spray collides against a wall surface of the intake port 4 at portions of the intake valve bore 9 indicated by A and B and is not smoothly introduced through the intake valve bore 9 into the combustion chamber 3 and hence, the fuel is deposited onto the wall surface of the intake port 4, resulting in a variation in air-fuel ratio. However, the fuel spray is difficult to collide against the portions A and B of the intake valve bore 9 by forming the fuel spray pattern into the substantially elliptic shape to conform to the projected shape of the intake valve bore 9 as in this embodiment, thereby overcoming such problem. Moreover, since the fuel spray pattern in this embodiment has the pair of spray lacked portions a, a which correspond to the portions A and B, the collision of the fuel spray against the wall surface of the intake port 4 is avoided further reliably. Further, one of the spray lacked portions a corresponds to the position of the rod portion 6 1 of the intake valve 6 and therefore, it is possible to avoid the collision of the fuel spray against the rod portion 6 1 to effectively prevent a variation in air-fuel ratio. In addition, it is possible to establish the fuel spray pattern into any other shape only by changing the shape of the outer fuel spray guide means 31 and the shape of the inner fuel spray guide means 32 (i.e., the shape of the cap 17) and therefore, a solenoid type fuel injection valve I having a general purpose property can be provided at a low cost. Although the fuel spray pattern is formed in correspondence to only the single intake valve 6 in this embodiment, it will be appreciated that a fuel spray pattern may be formed in correspondence to a plurality of intake valves. For example, when two intake valves are mounted, a fuel spray pattern may be formed so that one of the crescent-shaped spray portions corresponds to one of the intake valves, and the other crescent-shaped spray portion corresponds to the other intake valve. In this way, the present invention is applicable to a dual-intake engine while providing the same effect as in this embodiment by utilizing the crescent-shaped spray portions in correspondence to a plurality of intake valves, respectively. Figs.7 to 9 illustrate a second embodiment of the present invention, wherein portions or components corresponding to those in the first embodiment are designated by like reference characters. In a solenoid type fuel injection valve I of the second embodiment, an inner fuel spray guide means 32 is supported by a single support arm 17 2 . Therefore, a single nozzle 33 is provided and has a horse's hoof-like shape which is a partially lacked circle. A fuel spray pattern is formed into a shape shown in Fig.9, which has a single spray lacked portion a in a portion of a circle. In the second embodiment, the spray lacked portion a of the fuel spray pattern corresponds to the position of the rod portion 6 1 of the intake valve 6. Thus, it is possible to avoid the collision of a fuel spray against the rod portion 6 1 and the portion A of the intake port 4 to prevent a variation in air-fuel ratio. Additionally, in the second embodiment, it is possible to perform the atomization, uniformization and stabilization in particle size of the fuel by blowing air through the air assist passage 17 3 against the pintle 34, as in the first embodiment. Although the outer fuel spray guide means 31 is formed by the independent member in each of the above-described embodiments, it will be appreciated that the outer fuel spray guide means 31 may be integral with the injector body 16 or the cap 17. In addition, although the inner fuel spray guide means 32 is integral with the cap 17 in each of the above-described embodiments, the inner fuel spray guide means 32 may be formed by an independent member. Annular steps may be also projectingly provided on the inner wall of the outer fuel spray guide means 31. The fuel spray pattern may be changed properly in accordance with the shape of the intake port 4. The fuel spray pattern in the first embodiment may be changed into a fuel spray pattern shown in Fig.10, and the fuel spray pattern in the second embodiment may be changed into any of fuel spray patterns shown in Figs.11 and 12. Figs.13 to 15 illustrate a third embodiment of the present invention, wherein portions or components corresponding to those in the first embodiment are designated by like reference characters. A first air assist passage 38 is provided in an inner fuel spray guide means 32 and opens in an opposed relation to a tip end of a pintle 34. The first air assist passage 38 is in communication with the air chamber 37 through an air supply passage 39 which is provided in the support arm 17 2 and the cap 17. A recess is provided around an outer periphery of the outer fuel spray guide means 31 to define an air flow passage 40 between the recess and the fitting hole 17 1 . The air flow passage 40 is in communication with the air chamber 37 (see Fig.1) through a plurality of, e.g., three passages 41 provided in the cap 17 at circumferentially spaced apart distances. Moreover, a plurality of second air assist passages 42 1 are provided in the outer fuel spray guide means 31 and open toward the inner fuel spray guide 32 at a location corresponding to the fuel injection passage 33. The second air assist passages 42 1 are commonly in communication with the air flow passage 40. Thus, when a high pressure fuel is injected from the fuel injection hole 16 3 , such fuel is atomized by collision against the tapered surface 34 1 of the valve head 34 3 of the pintle 34, while being diffused radiately. During this time, assist air blown through the first air assist passage 38 in the inner fuel spray guide means 32 toward the tip end of the pintle 34 is diffused by collision against the tapered surface 34 2 of the valve head 34 3 and uniformly mixed with the atomized fuel. Moreover, the assist air is supplied through the first air assist passage 38 in a counter flow with respect to the fuel flow and therefore, the air flow collides against the fuel flow at a large relative speed, thereby further promoting the atomization of the fuel and providing the stabilization of particle size. The atomized fuel is ejected to the outside via the fuel injection passage 33, but the assist air from the plurality of second air assist passages 42 1 is blown to the fuel flow in the fuel injection passage 33. Therefore, the atomization of the fuel is further promoted, and for example, the atomization into 60 µm or less can be achieved. If the atomization of the fuel is performed, the stabilization of the fuel discharge form is generally difficult, but can be achieved by injecting the spray fuel along with the assist air from the first air assist passage 38 and the plurality of second air assist passages 42 1 . Therefore, the spray fuel atomized, uniformized and stabilized in discharge form can be supplied into the combustion chamber 3 in the engine, leading to an enhanced efficiency of combustion in the combustion chamber 3. Figs.16, 17 and 18 illustrate a fourth embodiment. In this embodiment, a plurality of, e.g., three second air assist passages 42 2 are provided in the form of circumferentially long slits at circumferentially spaced apart distances in the outer fuel spray guide means 31 and open toward the inner fuel spray guide means 32 at a location corresponding the fuel injection passage 33. The second air assist passages 42 2 are commonly in communication with the air flow passage 40. Even with the fourth embodiment, an effect similar to that in the third embodiment can be provided.
